The store is fairly easy to navigate and has a reasonable selection for a store of its' size, it also supports the Sainsbury's Smartshop app, meaning you are able to use your phone to scan items and bag them as you're going around the store, just head to the checkout to pay, and you're good to go. More recently, the Cafe area at the front of the store has been converted into a Starbucks, which is a nice Starbucks location, I like visiting this Starbucks when shopping at Cheshire Oaks, as it is much nicer and quieter than the one actually inside the centre. The staff in the store seem friendly, and the checkout experience was quick and easy, combined with Smartshop. I was able to find the items I came in for. The store in general does have a slightly older look/feel to it than other Sainsbury's stores, so has more of an older/classic feel, it could do a refurb in the slight future but remains OK for now. 4*

According to the locals, this is a bigger store than the regular ones. If I get a chance to visit a regular store, I'll confirm, lol. This one does have 2 levels, and you can take the lift (elevator) or the escaltors escalators. The escalator going down wasn't working the times I've been, but just walk down anyway. They have cashiers for check out as well as self check-out lanes. Prices here are awesome! I'm a huge fan of their bakery bread and the snacks. Their sparkling water game is pretty strong, too. Don't be shocked if I check in here again, lol!

There are Tesco's literally everywhere these days, none more so than probably in Liverpool city…read morecentre. If you're around Liverpool, Tesco's of all versions are dotted around places: metro, local, express, superstore. If there are any more, you'll have to let me know! The Liverpool One branch of Superstore is not actually the most super I have come across in Liverpool as there is one in Litherland which is gargantuan in comparison. However, Liverpool One Tesco is certainly what the town needs. You still have plenty of choice here, a variety of sections such as deli, clothes and international foods to keep you adding more to your basket! I find this place more of a relaxing and enjoyable shopping experience as opposed to the Metro version by the big screen, because its more spacious and offers an abundance of products. The location isn't great if you're driving there as it'll cost you pounds to park somewhere nearby but certainly convenient when you have other chores to do around town.

There are plenty of arguments for and against the social impact of segregated communities in…read moreManchester. One of the overwhelming advantages of such communities however, which I'm sure will gain universal approval is their complete immunity from being threatened by giant retail food chains. You know the ones I'm talking about, the ones that've been driving out small independents outta business across across the country. I LOVE the fact that the communities remain militantly loyal to local foodstores like Madina. Upon close inspection, turns out the reason is a little more complex than just cultural affiliation. One of the main one reasons? This place is AWESOME!! There's literally a library of spices to buy (at BARGAIN prices) and experiment at home with. Any foodie/charlie out there who's sick of the monotonous nature of the shopping experience, will find this to be their culinary/chocolate factory. True, London probably bigger volume of such establishments, but they probably cant beat us for sheer quality. So next time you're stuck in traffic driving to town on Stockport road (through Levenshulme) have a break, and instead of having a kitkat, park up and have a cheeky gander.

Despite having a deceptively small storefront, once inside Madina Superstore turns out to be…read moreanother Desi supermarket easily on a par with branches of Worldwide Foods or Manchester Superstore. With the UK 'hungry gap' upon us, I bagged a box of lychees plus sundry Desi vegetable and fresh herbs. Freshness of the produce was very good, although a bit of banter with a Desi customer revealed that he was passing up on the tinda as being too big - although this is no doubt an out-of-season issue. For the mobile cosmopolitan foodie such as myself, the aim is to know where all the ethnic food stores are so that ethnic food shopping can be done with a minimum of detour from other city business and pleasure. Although there is nothing really oustanding about Madina Superstore to make you travel beyond your nearest Desi superstore, it is nice to have a proper Desi supermarket in Levenshulme to save Levy locals a trip up Stockport Road to Longsight. And visitors such as myself can combine a visit to Madina Superstore with a trip to the monthly Levy Market, or else the permanent Trove café bakery or POD deli.

To say the layout wasn't very well thought out is a bit of an understatement. Unfortunately the store also has a thriving home delivery service which has expanded into the carpark. Shoppers use the free parking spaces at Tesco to visit the newly built Eagles Meadow Shopping Mall which is opposite the store making parking in what was already a small carpark almost impossible on a saturday. At peak times you'll be queuing to get in and queing to get out.

A pretty large Tesco store in Chester town centre, at Frodsham Square…read more Due to COVID-19 and managing the number of people in the store, the entrance is a mess right now, one of the back entrances, just off the high street and next to Boots is currently not open, there is no signage to find the main store entrance from there, it only states to walk through a car-park which I also couldn't find, I ended up going away only to find this store by chance on my way home to the train station. They really should offer a street map if they are going to close a main entrance to the public. The selection in most areas was okay, especially the fish and meat counters where the selection was extensive. I did find the toiletries selection to be rather poor, they seemed to have replaced a whole section with overpriced giftsets, meaning toiletries and skincare items you'd find in pretty much any other supermarket weren't stocked here, which was a real shame. I get gift-sets are good Christmas ideas, but why should that mean the items which would usually be sold outside of these overpriced gift-sets not be sold at all? I did find the staff member a little unhelpful, he was standing right next to me (and seemed to be avoiding me) as I struggled to type my Clubcard number into the scan and go machine as it kept freezing. 3* - Large supermarket in the town centre of Chester, although it can be a nightmare to get in and there are multiple other flaws with the store which means it wouldn't be my first choice supermarket to visit if I return to Chester.
